891. To ask the Minister for Health in response to reports that CHI orthopaedic surgeons performed hip surgeries at University Hospital Galway and Cork in recent years, who approved sending CHI orthopaedic doctors to Galway and Cork; whether this was part of an official waiting-list initiative or NTPF arrangement; if the same oversight and patient-selection standards applied there as CHI sites; whether the orthopaedic doctors concerned were paid over the accepted rates; if so, the reason; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

As the Deputy’s question relates to operational matters, I have asked the Health Service Executive to provide a direct reply as soon as possible.
